Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression
is a revolutionary new technology used primarily to treat disc injuries in
the neck and in the low back. This treatment option is very safe and utilizes
FDA cleared equipment to apply distraction forces to spinal structures in a
precise and graduated manner. Distraction is offset by cycles of partial
relaxation. This technique of spinal decompression therapy, that is,
unloading due to distraction and positioning, has shown the ability to gently
separate the vertebrae from each other, creating a vacuum inside the discs
that we are targeting. This "vacuum effect" is also known as
negative intra-discal pressure.

The negative pressure may induce
the retraction of the herniated or bulging disc into the inside of the disc,
and off the nerve root, thecal sac, or both. It happens only microscopically
each time, but cumulatively, over four to six weeks, the results are quite
dramatic.

The cycles of decompression and
partial relaxation, over a series of visits, promote the diffusion of water,
oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids from the outside of the discs to the inside.
These nutrients enable the torn and degenerated disc fibers to begin to heal.

For the low back, the patient lies comfortably on his/her
back or stomach on the decompression table, with a set of nicely padded
straps snug around the waist and another set around the lower chest. For the
neck, the patient lies comfortably on his/her back with a pair of soft rubber
pads behind the neck. Many patients enjoy the treatment, as it is usually
quite comfortable and well tolerated.

Treatment takes anywhere from 12 to 25 visits depending
upon severity, nutrition, performing proper exercises, what the patient is
doing on a daily bases and if the patient is a good healer.

Until the pain level has a 50% decrease in pain and
objective findings the patient should be seen 3-6 x per week.After 50% recovery the patient should be seen
2-3x/week. Finally when back injury is restored to pre-injury status it is
recommended that the patient continues with maintenance treatment 1-2x per
month.
